Anand is the only way saything such things though, and I don't trust his site havn't since the Geforce 6/7 debacle 

*Ugh* I don't agree with you, Anandtech is known to be one of the most neutral websites around, in fact other websites also showed similar results, for your information I am neutral and I don't care who is faster or not, it's mainly the facts that matter to me and here on this case.
Even on the overall max performance NVIDIA like AMD/ATI have both been challenged and beaten several times.
 
You seem that you want the Geforce cards to be faster, even at some case is, they simply are not faster.
The real fact comes clear when it's about Price/Performance of a similar class, this is where the R9 290X crushes the GTX 780 Ti:
 
Radeon R9 290X pricing:
http://tweakers.net/categorie/49/videokaarten/producten/#filter:q1bKL0pJLXLLTM1JUbJSKijKzCpW0oEIBucXlQDFEouT4SIFqcmeQHW6hjogpcmpvpl5SlYGOkrFQAm3zJyS1KJiJatqJSMjEFmWmKNkFa1kbmxspBRbW1sLAA
Cheapest R9 290X = Club3D Radeon R9 290X 4GB EUR 389,-
 
Geforce GTX 780 Ti Pricing:
http://tweakers.net/categorie/49/videokaarten/producten/#filter:q1bKL0pJLXLLTM1JUbJSKijKzCpW0oEIBucXlQDFEouT4SIFqcmeQHW6hjogpcmpvpl5SlYGOkrFQAm3zJyS1KJiJatqJSMjEFmWmKNkFa1kbmxhqhRbW1sLAA
Cheapest GTX 780 Ti = Gigabyte GV-N78TWF3-3GD  EUR: 560,-
So EUR 560,- Minus EUR 389,- = EUR 171, hereby the R9 290X crushes the GTX 780 Ti, mainly due to a much better price/performance ratio.
 
That being for the same performance you can be 171 euro's cheaper with a Radeon R9 290X over a GeForce GTX 780 Ti, drivers are solid with the Radeon, you can take that from me, I have systems with a GTX 480 Engineering Sample and a GTX 480 Production board they too run great, I also ran 2Way SLI with GTX 480's, 580's & 680's as Quad SLI with GTX 295 RE's & a 3dfx Voodoo5 6000.
 
Guru3D's review again 2-Way XDMA CFX R9-290X beats 2-Way SLI GTX 780Ti, even being this is an old article:
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r9_290x_crossfire_vs_sli_review_benchmarks,23.html
 
Nowadays the drivers have improved lots, thx to Cat 14.7Beta :P
 
Want a single GPU comparison? Sure no probs, just read this review Kyle Bennett made from HardOCP:
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/11/11/geforce_gtx_780_ti_vs_radeon_r9_290x_4k_gaming/1#.U-PPC3h1U-U
 
As he adds on the last page in The Bottom Line part:
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/11/11/geforce_gtx_780_ti_vs_radeon_r9_290x_4k_gaming/7#.U-PPLnh1U-U
 
"The statement above is very important. Though the AMD Radeon R9 290X now has competition at Ultra HD 4K display gaming, it isn't being "owned" by the GTX 780 Ti. The GTX 780 Ti, at $150 more, only equals the R9 290X. Both video cards are even, or on par with each other at Ultra HD 4K gaming."
 
So here my end verdict:
It is fine you like a or even fave a VGA card brand or a VGA card type, but I do find there is no need to hog around false information even without proving it properly 
Just saying I have proved enough for you to be wrong here and there is no crime for being wrong either, everyone should learn to accept denial and learn from it
 
 

When GTX880 show up, depend of performance and if GK110 price drop little while supply last,
GTX780Ti SC ACX and GTX780Ti Classified will be still excellent upgrade.
 
 

We can say this is some GTX760 successor.
Only difference is because during 2013 and 2014 NVIDIA decide to offer cheaper version of professional chip as GTX780 and later we got excellent GTX780Ti only because R9-290X performance. Without nice performance of AMD only Titan Black would be launched. Because NVIDIA want to offer at least one version of free chip with all CUDA. They planned some other name as Titan Light or similar thing but than that become GTX780 and GTX780Ti.
Maybe because of that people are confused if expect GTX870 to become stronger than GTX780 or even GTX780Ti.
As GTX670 is similar or stronger than GTX580. Maybe next year GM210 came as Titan II and later as GTX890 or GTX885 or even GTX980.
 
 

Not looking good for the 880 :(

Well looks like I am going to be holding on these dual 670s SC 4GBs for a bit longer. I am not going to buy that 800 series crap. It pisses me off that there going to make these cards with a 256bit. They are cheaping out again. Like some of you said they want to squeeze as much profit as they can. The 800 series is going to be just like the 600 series crap in which the 900 series is going to be like the 700 series. Basically the 900 series will be the 800 series true potential of power of Maxwell architecture, just as the 700 series is the true power of the 600 series of cards for Kepler architecture. The 900 series cards are supposed to be built on a 384bit just as the 700 series cards are built on. The Maxwell architecture is going to be a repeat of the Kepler architecture. From past rumors I read the 900 series of cards will produce the "Titian product" of card. 

Looks like you might be right ! (http://www.techpowerup.com/203661/nvidia-to-launch-geforce-gtx-880-in-september.html)

Hope and hype only fuel more hope and hype, there is an actual demand for rumors, which means people can make stuff up just to feed us.  It takes a particular analysis to find truth in lies, so to speak, but most people that read rumors don't investigate the paper-trail to see which sources refer to each other.  I'm not saying ignore the stuff, although it is the safest bet, just saying rumors are (by definition) not reliable.

We can say this is some GTX760 successor.

The only way I could agree is if nVidia feels threatened by AMD in some way to push a preemptive strike.  I just don't see much rumor beyond the upcoming 2048-sp Tonga-XT and therefore skeptical of any need to push a high-end 28nm Maxwell anytime soon.  I'm not saying nVidia doesn't have GTX870/880 on the drawing board, just available AMD rumors don't imply a need to debut counterattacks yet.

Nvidia pulls the same crap as last time, selling a 760 as a 780 (Go read, I dont want to explain) Im sticking to my 60's, screw $500 or more for a 880(aka 860) then turn around and sell the true 880 as a Ti or Titan for $1K,
 
"Milk that dog, Milk it!"

 
No threat from AMD leaves Nvidia the option to do whatever they want. Yes the 290x came out finally and we saw the 780 reduce price. Then the 780ti came out and now 880's are coming out. AMD has yet to get a loan for a 300 series as of last month, they may have found a loan by now.  No AMD is not to blame, yes the blame is in Nvidia, but why not milk the consumer when there is nothing to challenge you. Even the richest people and companies are still greedy for money.

People like to say that about the 680 (which it didnt happen, but I already explained that how many times) but the 780? Yea your talking out of your ass.
 
GK100 was not released in ANY form. 

Here is some Pics (http://gigjets.com/07/16075-nvidia-gtx-880-release/)

hah, both these companies are bleeding our wallets at this point.

As one of the authors(Mike Clark works at nVidia, should the case quoted figures are not based on rumors or similar third party sources, but in fact directly from nVidia come - of course with respect to the future chips with the uncertainty whether this new date and technologically everything so hinbekommt as planned, but it is still better than any other source.
 
from 3dcenter.org
 
Gk210 is a new efficient gk110 - going to be used for tesla and quadro primarily
don't expect them for retail with maxwell incoming
 
also leaked  ...it would be "REAL EARLY" first quarter at the latest - like Jan - and the silicon came thru tape out with little problems
so they are trying to push for production out early...  like for Xmas - all depends on TSMC,  yields and volume
 
 
also don't expect a refresh of maxwell - Only the 800 series will be maxwell
 
900 series will be pascal in jan 2016 
 

couodnt they simply disable cores or limit other items then release a 880ti with everythin ginlocked?

just in time for my rig upgrade :) 

I got a little confused towards the end of this. Are you guys  suggestioning that the new cards 800 series would be sorta like the 720-750's  Sort of like a filler until the 900 series come? I got a lonely 560 1gb.. -.- so anything would seem like a huge increase, I was hoping for the price to go down on the 780's when the 800 series comes out, but what i'm hearing it sounds like the 800 series are going to be cheaper than the 780.  Would it be wise to wait for the 900 series? 

PC-specs has it in the pc builder APP already

That's silly. The 880 isn't even out yet, and they are claiming the 980 is out at the end of this month? Nope.
 
That tells me all I need to know about that site.
 
 
 

Guessing you missed the talk/rumors of NVIDIA wanting to skip the 800 series in order to present a unified naming scheme between mobile and desktop parts?
